    Industrial hazards come in many forms, including physical, biological, chemical, and mechanical. It is important for operators to be aware of hazards associated with their industry and equipment and to follow proper safety procedures. Manufacturing facilities should implement adequate hazard controls including well-maintained equipment, safety training, use of personal protective equipment, engineering controls, and administrative controls. They must also have emergency preparedness plans and procedures to track and correct identified hazards.

    CONTROL OF INDUSTRIAL

    HAZARDS
    Industrial hazards

     Risk is a random incident that may possibly occur, and if it occurs, it would have a
    negative impact on achieving organizational goals.
     A hazard is an agent having the potential to cause harm or hurt to the target. We can call
    the possible source of danger as hazard
     The terms ‘risk’ and ‘hazard’ are mostly used interchangeably. However, in terms of risk
    assessment, they are two very different terms

     . A hazard is any agent which can cause harm/damage/ injury to human beings and their
    environment. Risk is defined as the probability that exposes one to a hazard which leads
    to a negative effect.
     All industries have different type of tools, equipment and machinery. There is always a
    risk of hazard while operating machines. They may be physical, biological, chemical,
    mechanical, etc. It is crucial for all operators to be aware of the risk of hazards associated
    with the industry they work in. While handling tools and machines, the Operators should
    follow safety instructions. Specialist training must be given to the Operators to prevent
    injuries from these hazards. Operators should take precautions to guard against work
    related hazards and accidents.
     Most manufacturing units have similar hazards in their processes and work areas. Hence,
    it is mandatory to have adequate equipment and facilities in the unit to avoid these
    hazards. Adequate planning, training and awareness workshops are necessary to train the
    Operators, in which they must be made aware of various hazards associated with their
    units, and the precautions to be taken.
     All the manufacturing units, whether located in a commercial or residential area, must
    comply and should have the necessary equipment, like fire extinguishers, hydrants,
    emergency exits, emergency lights, hooters, first aids, etc. The Operators may suffer many
    occupational accidents due to the processes and equipment or machines used in the
    garment industry. It is the prime responsibility of an organization to provide occupational
    health and safety conditions to the Operators.
    Hazard Prevention and Control in industrials

     After hazards are identified, how can they be prevented and to control or prevent
    workplace hazards. Hazard Prev
    and Control
     Some ways to prevent and control hazards are:
    i. Regularly and thoroughly maintain equipment
    ii. Ensure that hazard correction procedures are in place
    iii. Ensure controlled? Continually review the farmstead, shop areas and work practices re
    that everyone knows how to use and maintain personal protective equipment
    iv. Make sure that everyone understands and follows safe work procedures
    Engineering Controls

    Engineering controls can be simple in some cases. They are based on the following
    principles:
    A) If feasible, design the facility, equipment, or process to remove the hazard or substitute
    something that is not hazardous.
    B) If removal is not feasible, enclose the hazard to prevent exposure in normal operations.
    C) Where complete enclosure is not feasible, establish barriers or local ventilation to reduce
    exposure to the hazard in normal operations
    :Administrative Controls

     While safe work practices can be considered forms of administrative controls, OSHA uses
    the term administrative controls to mean other measures aimed at reducing employee
    exposure to hazards. These measures include additional relief workers, exercise breaks
    and rotation of workers. These types of controls are normally used in conjunction with
    other controls that more directly prevent or control exposure to the hazard.
    Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

     When exposure to hazards cannot be engineered completely out of normal operations or


    maintenance work, and when safe work practices and other forms of administrative
    controls cannot provide sufficient additional protection, a supplementary method of
    control is the use of protective clothing or equipment. This is collectively called personal
    protective equipment, or PPE. PPE may also be appropriate for controlling hazards while
    engineering and work practice controls are being installed.
    Systems to Track Hazard Correction

    An essential part of any safety and health system is the correction of hazards that occur
    despite the overall prevention and control program. For larger sites, documentation is
    important so that management and employees have a record of the correction.
    Many companies use the form that documents the original discovery of a hazard to track its
    correction. Hazard correction information can be noted on an inspection report next to the
    hazard description. Employee reports of hazards and reports of accident investigation should
    provide space for notations about hazard correction.
    :Preventive Maintenance Systems

    Good preventive maintenance plays a major role in ensuring that hazard controls continue to
    function effectively. It also keeps new hazards from arising due to equipment malfunction.
    Reliable scheduling and documentation of maintenance activity is necessary. The scheduling
    depends on knowledge of what needs maintenance and how often. The point of preventive
    maintenance is to get the work done before repairs or replacement is needed. Documentation
    is not only a good idea, but is a necessity.
    Emergency Preparation

     During emergencies, hazards appear that normally are not found in the workplace. These
    may be the result of natural causes (floods, tornadoes, etc.), events caused by humans but
    beyond control (train or plane accidents, terrorist activities, etc.), or within a farm’s own
    systems due to unforeseen circumstances or events.
